  • Chapter 12: Hydraulic & Pneumatic Power Systems › Basic Hydraulic Systems › Open Center Hydraulic Systems

    Basic Hydraulic Systems Regardless of its function and design, every hydraulic system has a minimum number of basic components in addition to a means through which the fluid is transmitted. A basic system consists of a pump, reservoir, directional valve ... check valve, pressure relieve valve, selector valve, actuator, and filter. [Figure 12-2] Open Center Hydraulic Systems An open center system is one having fluid flow, but no pressure in the system when the actuating mechanisms are idle. The pump…

  • Chapter 16: Cabin Environmental Control Systems › Oxygen System Servicing › Servicing Gaseous Oxygen

    Oxygen System Servicing Servicing Gaseous Oxygen Gaseous oxygen systems are prevalent in general, corporate, and airline aviation. The use of lightweight aluminum and composite storage cylinders has improved these simple and reliable life support systems. All gaseous oxygen systems require ... servicing and maintenance. Various procedures and requirements to perform these functions are covered in this section. Leak Testing Gaseous Oxygen Systems Leaks in a continuous-flow oxygen system may be difficult to detect because the system is open…

  • Chapter 12: Hydraulic & Pneumatic Power Systems › Boeing 777 Hydraulic System › Center Hydraulic System

    Flight controls. Reservoir The hydraulic system reservoir of the center system contains the hydraulic fluid supply for the hydraulic pumps. The reservoir is pressurized by bleed air through a reservoir pressurization module. The reservoir supplies fluid to the ADPs ... fluid from the bottom of the reservoir. The reservoir also supplies hydraulic fluid to the landing gear alternate extension system. The ACMPs are the primary pumps in the center hydraulic system and are normally turned on. The ADPs…
